I love Sebastian Stan and I think he does such a great job with the Mad Hatter that it would be difficult to imagine the role without him. It's a shame, since I would like him back on weekly television

It was Stan all the way! He played it so well and I was always more excited when there was an episode with him in it. He's also very nice to look at.
Recasting a role in television is reserved for long running daytime soap operas, not a Primetime TV show with so much more depth to it. The Hatter had a larger role, but it still doesn't give enough material for a spin-off series. If he's such a popular character, he should be given regular appearances, not necessarily a whole series. I'm only assuming that that is the reason for the idea in the first place.
If they go through with it, it would be failure on so many levels.

And that is why no UK Sherlock Holmes, Watson was in the Hobbit and Sherlock is the Villian in Star Trek.. they are waiting till both are free to do S3 of Sherlock. That is the UK though, they will wait for their stars, however highly doubtful the US will.

@Summer I would asume the reason for a recast is simply Stan is a busy guy. Filming for Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier (and he's Winter Soldier) begins soon if it hasn't already and Marvel kees its actors busy. Josh Dallas couldn't reprise his role in Thor because of his commitment to OUAT. It sems to be nearly impossible for actors to do a tv series and still act in films. Aidan Turner from the UK version of Being Human had to quit that show to be in The Hobbit.

For me the reason for the recast would play a role (pun not intended) into whether I'd be accepting of this.

Nooo, Sebastian Stan is perfect for that role!! They really shouldn't bother making a spin-off with another actor because it's really hard to top Sebastian's performance in my eyes.

That's like wanting to spin-off Rumpelstiltskin but not use Robert Carlyle.
Exactly my opinion. Doing a spin-off without Sebastian Stan would be a big mistake!!

NO, NO, NO! I would ruin the character for me. If they want to do a series about the Mad Hatter fine, but don't cast anyone else on the show in the role Sebastian Stan portrayed so well. HE made the character. I completely agree with all of you guys like Megan said, Stan's portrayal would be tainted and so would the show. I have always hated when shows recasted characters, I would rather they kill them off instead.

no no no no
the reason i fell in love with the character was the way Stan portrayed him. the vulnerability he brought to the character, the charm, the boyish naiveté. not to mention that he is just gorgeous without being overly glamored up and he is a really good actor. there is simply no one else for the role! period!
and any how, the show is only in it's second season, isn't it way too early for spin-offs?

Just no. It's too early for a spin off and how can they do it without the actor who portrays the character? The character is as popular as he is because of Sebastian Stan. Would they had enough material to carry on a show based soley on the Mad Hatter?

It would ruin the show. I hate when people do that if he cant do it than wait till he can or don't do it at all. it makes it look like they can't control their own tv show when people do recast.

If Stan wasn't playing the Mad Hatter not only would the spin-off be ruined but his portrayl on the show would be forever tainted and i DO NOT WANT THAT! I love his portrayl of the mad hatter and have watched each episode he has been in hundreds of times.. They can't recast it I won't allow it

I think Stan made a perfect portrail for the character, i wouldn´t like to see anybody else doing it.

The appeal was definitely because of Stan's portrayal of the character, not JUST the character. Bad idea.

Umm,the appeal was in Sebastian Stan's amazing performance. I'd say that's a definite no on recasting and spinning off.

Dan Stevens or Ryan Seacrest?

I can't see anyone else playing the role especially walking the line between good guy and potential evil master manipulator (because I love Hook but he is more damaged goods who is consumed by rage). And seriously a spin off? Maybe they realized there is too much going on Ouat but have all this disney owned stuff but lets not stretch it too far. They just need to figure out Alice and they have enough of that world covered.
February 22nd, 2013 8:46 PM
I don't know....I think that a lot of the appeal had to do with the actor and how he portrayed the character.
